Cannabis is typically weighed, packaged, and sold by the gram, eighth (⅛), quarter (¼), half (½), and/or 1 ounce (frequently referred to as a “zip”). The amount of cannabis you should consider purchasing at any given time is dependent on a variety of factors, including, but not limited too, how much you smoke/vape/cook with on a daily basis, your desired use-case [vaporizing or packing your bowls take significantly less cannabis than rolling joints, etc.], the quality of the bud in question, and your budget at the time. There is an obvious cost-savings when investing in larger quantities of cannabis, but …

The average amount of cannabis you need to feel the effects is around 0.2 grams, but the amount does vary from patient to patient and plant to plant.

The simple answer: it depends. Location, availability, method of growth, and the grade and quality of the cannabis will all affect its price. Generally speaking, most eighths are sold between $30 and $75, with $60 being the average price for pristine, well-grown cannabis. Legal marijuana dispensaries [especially in California] frequently implement $30-35 “caps” for eighths to attract a larger patient base that are budget conscious. Essentially, this just means the dispensary will never raise the price of an eighth over their advertised ceiling/cap price. Click here to learn more.

The “size” of an eighth of cannabis depends on a couple of different factors, including the strain type, growing technique, and more. Visually, an eighth of weed is typically enough to fit in the palm of your hand. An eighth of weed often fits in a small baggie and may be made up of one really large bud or a group of smaller buds the size of dimes. Many times Indica-dominant cannabis strains will have a more compact bud structure, whereas Sativa-dominant strains are often light, fluffy, and airy. Generally speaking, an eighth should yield around 15-35 doses, but could …
